manufacture. The increase OF 1887
over the product Of 1886 has been
remarkable, and Notwithstanding
the few months allowed some OF the
largest establishment to work, the
total output OF Spokane Falls manu-.
featuring establish nents been fully
81, $50, 900.

ed products needed In such opera.
tions. The demand for lumber and
planning mill products, brick, lime,
etc., will tax the capacity of our local
establish hments to the utmost. The
great increase In population will
cause a corresponding increase In the
demand for food products, while all
branches OF manufacture will be
sti mulated by the development OF
those above mentioned.
